Ocasio-Cortez Targets Pelosi

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently appears to have pounced on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other lawmakers who have profited handsomely off the stock market via insider information.

Ocasio-Cortez is alleging the public pressure is working and lawmakers must do something to ban their colleagues from making more money off the stock market going forward.

According to Fox, AOC stated, “The people at home watching have made it too difficult to ignore. She then explained that Congress now just needs to “stick the landing without any funny business” on when it comes to creating new legislation that will block those such as Nancy Pelosi from getting richer.

Ocasio-Cortez then praised Pelosi for being open to the idea of changing the current policy, “I think that the speaker’s openness on this position is really a testament to the fact that, you know, public attention and pressure can move public policy from the bottom all the way to the top. I applaud the speaker’s openness and her willingness to listen to the caucus on this issue.”
